Convert web pages to PDFs with PDFmyURL
I tested out a PDFmyURL on few different sites, and it performed to expectations on most of them. PDFmyURL doesn't handle horizontal websites well, but since the majority of sites are laid out vertically, that's not an enormous flaw. PDFmyURL will split longer webpages into multiple PDF pages, instead of just grabbing the part "above the fold."
I just wish this thing had been around when I was trying to print off some outdated documents on a Windows machine last year, and was lost without my Mac's trusty "print to PDF"
Chromatic is one of the best time-wasters I've recently come across. It's all about the gameplay -- no Flash graphics here. You play a "circle" (it doesn't really have a name in the game). You move around with the arrow keys, and you change colors with Z, X, and C.
You can either be red, blue, or yellow, and you can switch at any time during the game. Each color has different capabilities -- yellow can double-jump, while red has a longer dash (which is like a forward sprint, activated by double-pressing DOWN).

While this would no doubt be useful for those times you are on a PC with no ability to install an application, I doubt it would be able to handle a URL for a secure web page, such as a checkout receipt.
For Windows users, I recommend a free print to PDF utility, such as CutePDF Writer:

There is similar web site at http://www.web2pdfconvert.com which do web to pdf conversion very well with excellent quality and flash support. Also as I remember it has add-ons for IE, Firefox and Chrome which allow to do conversion directly from browser.
If you will google for web to pdf converter you will find many of similar services.
